Week 0 Best College Football Touchdown Scorer Picks: Montana State vs. New Mexico
Montana State vs. New Mexico
Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook:
- Tommy Mellott (QB – Montana State) | +500 (-174)
- Scottre Humphrey (RB – Montana State) | +380 (-260)
- Adam Jones (RB – Montana State) | +800 (+124)
The Bobcats are an absolute powerhouse on the FCS level and have a ton of talent from last year's squad coming back, including their quarterback, most of the offensive line and a few running backs.
While they were a capable passing team when they needed to be, their strength was in the run game. It would be surprising if they did not rely on what they do best against a rebuilding New Mexico team.
Last season, Montana State recorded 41 rushing touchdowns to 20 receiving. Scottre Humphrey led the way with 14, followed by Tommy Mellott with eight. Adam Jones had one but only had three carries.
Devon Dampier may be the best bet for the Lobos as he is a mobile QB who could be running for his life early and often behind a completely rebuilt offensive line. He had four rushing touchdowns in limited time last season.
It is more likely he scores off a scramble than a running back on a set rushing play. The run game will likely have a hard time getting on track behind an inexperienced offensive line facing a veteran Montana State defense.
Next to Dampier scoring on a scramble, Caleb Medford may have the best chance as Dampier's No. 1 wide receiver.
